FAN for cpu 6 x 4cm ,?

riclad

I,M looking for a fan ,athlon cpu,the Cpu heatsink is 6cm x 4cm.
PC IS hp cq1110uk,small form factor PC.
the psu is external ,like a laptop power supply,65 watts.
I put on an old fan,from a pentium 4 pc, the original fan is broke.
The smallest fan i can see is 6x6cm,
should i just buy a 6x6cm fan from peats or maplins.
is There some specialist supplier than sells smaller fans.
The present fan is working fine, i used 4 screws to secure it to heatsink.
This pc runs cool, just has one fan on the cpu.
i,d be willing to buy a fan for 20 euro,if theres one out there that fits better.

I know a 6x 6 will work fine,if i install it properly,
i think the solder melted on the original fan, and the cable just fell off ,
on the fan side,Theres 2 small solder joints.
it uses standard 3 pin connector to mobo power .
I had to remove bios battery to reset bios,
to get the pc to load windows 7.
eg bios,or windows was not loading as normal.

I would say it is a standard 40x40x10 fan. Throw a tape measure on the existing fan to make sure. Available anywhere.

That's one of the more expensive options, there are plenty for around €5.
